Pool party swimsuit

I'm going to Vegas in a couple of months and we're going to a daytime pool party while we're there. Any recommendations where I can look for a swimsuit that won't make me look a frump?
I'm early 30s and a size 16 with big boobs. I had DC2 last year so it has to be a one-piece but I really don't want to feel mumsy. Hopefully I will shift a few more lbs before I go to feel a bit more confident.

Have a look at the figleaves icon range of swimsuits.

I'd get a stylish cozzie with matching kaftan. Big hat, sunglasses and polished toes will make you feel glamourous.

Horribly expensive but something like this?

Something from Freya? It will be supportive.
My bikinis from Freya last well.

Thank you for your suggestions, it gives me a good starting point.
I don't really want a kaftan, I think that draws attention to yourself more in a 'I'm trying to hide my body' way. I don't have a problem wearing a swimsuit, I just want to feel amazing.
Dreaming oh my goodness that kaftan is serious £££ - originally I wasn't sure what sort of budget I was applying to this task but now I know Grin

I love seafolly for flattering swimsuits. What size are your boobs though?

Lots of nice ones here.

I like the polka dot halternecks for a pool party.

What about a swim dress

Rubbish that link has got loads of contenders - thank you.

I think swimdresses are a bit in the same category as the kaftans in that you make more of an issue by trying to disguise it. I know in reality no one is going to be looking at me, they will all be too busy admiring themselves.
